Soniccouture have released Balinese Gamelan, a major new sampled instrument
for Native Instruments Kontakt as previewed by Sonic State news last December.
Here’s what Soniccouture have to say about it in their own words… Sampling the unique, magical sound of a Balinese Gamelan is no small
undertaking. The 25 instruments that make up The LSO's Semara Dana
Gamelan Ensemble had to be recorded in great detail, as if each instrument were
to be a sample library in its own right. Any compromise in the number of velocity
layers or the round robin alternate samples could result in the whole living,
breathing, sound losing realism and dynamic expression. All instruments were
recorded in stereo, at 24 bit 96 khz to ensure a pristine recording of the very
highest standard that will remain the benchmark for years to come.
The library is composed of single and paired Kontakt versions of the Gamelan
instruments (see picture above). As many of the metallophones are played as a
detuned pair, for convenience we have grouped them this way, including KSP
scripting to humanise the velocity and timing for a natural response. Paired
instruments also feature separate volume and pan controls. Smaller percussive
instruments like the Kempli are grouped together, with KSP level and pan
controls for fine tuning. Features
